> It’s been just over a month since the US Supreme Court gutted what remained of the Voting Rights Act, and the fallout has been staggering. Southern states have moved with alarming speed to redraw their congressional maps in time for the 2026 midterm election and in the process moved to eliminate majority-Black and Democratic districts in Louisiana, Tennessee, Florida, and Alabama.
To help make sense of the Supreme Court’s decision, the fallout from it, and what people are doing to counter it, I’d like to invite you to join our timely online discussion on Tuesday, June 9, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT with Mother Jones national voting rights correspondent Ari Berman and Supreme Court reporter Pema Levy. You can register for the discussion here.

The discussion will be moderated by Monika Bauerlein, CEO of the Center for Investigative Reporting, which produces Mother Jones.
